Give External users read access to an Engagement for File Review

You can grant external users or group access to specific files or activities in an entity.

To grant access to specific files or activities in an entity:

    • Contact - Entity Access role for contacts or contact groups.

    • Entity Access role for staff or staff groups.

    For example, if you want to grant staff member John Smith access to specific files in entity A, make sure that you select the Entity Access role for John Smith in the sharing properties of entity A.
